K12 Education Technology Discussion with Jim Heynderickx

Leave a comment if you’ve gone the live@edu route. The main part I’m interested in is the creation of Exchange Labs accounts for students, giving them 10 gigs of storage and a choice Outlook Web Access, Outlook, MacMail, Windows Mobile, etc.

Secondly, I’m interested in Microsoft Identity Lifecycle manager, and the control of AD in the creation and manipulation of accounts over time. Specifically, I’m wondering if student Exchange Labs email accounts can share a global directory with a faculty/staff Exchange system hosted locally or remotely. (Thus, a split but connected system.)

Third, I also know that single login authentication is offered, meaning that Outlook Web Access could be part of a school portal system.
